History

For more than two centuries our brand has been a recognised icon of excellence that owes its success to the history of the Molinari family, true pioneers of Italian business who have worked with passion, tenacity and resourcefulness from the 1800s to the present.

The first company name, “Ditta Giuseppe Molinari”, selling typical gastronomic products, dates back to 1804 in the province of Modena, later becoming the prestigious “Ditta Fratelli Molinari”, raised to official supplier to the Royal House of Savoy in 1888, and winners of numerous international awards.

The first “Bar Molinari” opened in 1911, on Modena’s central Via Emilia, and the family then focused on a coffee roasting business, starting to build what was to become the “Caffè Molinari” brand.

Its on-going expansion, quality certifications, tireless quest for excellence, respect for tradition and attention to all technological innovation guarantee production at the highest levels, and today confirm the company as an industry leader known and recognised far beyond the borders of our peninsula.
